Lesson 15
These are open syllables, which mean they end in a vowel and will make their long sound.
Remember in Lesson 1 that syllables with an 'e, i, or y' before 'c' and 'g' could make a softer /s/ or /j/ sound. In this lesson, there is an 'l' before the vowels, so 'c' and 'g' will not be affected, and make a /k/ and /g/ sound, respectively.

(* Reminder: Unlike in lesson 1, the syllables in the final row with the letter 'c' and end in 'e,' 'i,' and 'y' do not make a soft /s/ sound because of the letter 'l.' The vowels do not immediately follow the letter 'c,' so the 'c' will still make a hard /k/ sound.)
